CL Matchday 3: Discussion Thread

Tuesday picks :

Man Utd 1-1 Celtic
Villareal 1-2 Aab
Bayern 3-0 Fiorentina
Steaua 1-0 Lyon
Fenerbahce 2-1 Arsenal
Porto 0-1 D. Kiev
Juventus 5-4 R Madrid
Zenit 3-1 BATE

Your Chelsea pick doesn't sound nuts at all.

Chelsea played with only 4 starters last weekend, everyone else is injured. Basically a B team with some A thrown in. And Roma are angry, and want to take it out on someone. It's going to be a very tough game for Chelsea, hopefully we can get some injured players back for this game.

Never cease to crack me up with your predictions.

You never cease to crack me up with your...oh wait.

Hahaha, 5-4??? Ok, I give you that our defense sucks balls, and Real so far have of the weaker defences in La Liga (only 1 team conceaded more in in top 10, and 3 below top 10), but seriously? :howler:

I should say the must amazing part of the prediction is you predict we will score 5 goals when we have 2/3rds of our team out, but even if all healthy, we cant create for shit and only scored 6 goals in total in the league

But in general, its just too comical of a scenario to predict. I am pretty sure if you were betting with your hard earned money, you wouldnt stake your money on that score.

But your Man Utd pick certainly does.

I have to agree with Joshua here, absolutely ridiculous predictions.

:thumbsup: Your predictions are great....oh wait, you didn't put any down.

Also, is reading that difficult? What did I write in my post?

Just to discuss Andy's prediction of Porto losing to Kyiv...

Under Jesualdo Ferreira, Porto have never lost at home in the Champions League. The teams that have visited Estadio do Dragao are (in this order); CSKA Moscow, Arsenal, Hamburg, Chelsea, Liverpool, Besiktas, Marseille, Schalke, and Fenerbahce.

None of those teams have gotten three points at the Dragao, yet somehow Dinamo Kyiv are going to do it in your mind.

Best of luck with that and I'd love to know how much money you're wagering on that game.

Please think your posts through in future so that you won't have to keep correcting yourself. Thanks.

A Kyiv side who are notoriously bad travellers.
Then apparently a Fenerbahce side with 5 losses in 8 games is going to beat Arsenal. United, Champions of Europe, are going todraw with a very weak Celtic side. AaB, yes Aalborg of Denmark are somehow going to beat one of the best teams in Spain away from home. :howler: Of course Bayern who have also been poor lately will hammer a resurgent Fiorentina side. Then there is the dodgy Steau - Lyon prediction.
Of course the less said about that 5-4, the better.

Hehehe, no offense Andy, not picking on you, but I just saw you predicted little Alborg will win at Villareals home Hehe, the home wins you predicted are so so, but not totally unrealistic to the core, but your two away wins being Alborg and Kyiv is quite funny

Would that really be a surprise though? We're pretty rubbish ourselves these days and played terribly in Ukraine. Fenerbahce winning over there wouldn't be that improbable.

Still, that's not the reason this utter idiot posted it. You're just giving him what he wants.

Yeah, Fenerbache are a strong home team. And Steaua are a good team that relies on winning at home, they can for sure win Viola there.

But yeah, signore Andy is bit peculiar in how predictable he is I mean, for example, I KNOW that he will predict that Inter will NOT win against Anothorsis, he does that in every round about Inter

AaB beating villareal who are at home...i want to understand your thought process for some of these predictions, if there is any thought that is.

you cannot explain any of the predictions you've been called up on, so why bother being controversial/looking stupid?

Dark Andy is obviously some mentalist who's been hiding in a nuclear shelter for the last 20 something years. But please, do keep entertaining us with your hysterical and frequent antics.

I would prefer it if Roma are not angry, that would probably mean us throwing 9 players forward instead of 8 and leaving even more gaps in the defence for a top team to take advantage of. Keeping it down to 2 or 3 would be a success right now.
